Question

a system under biaxial loading induces principal stresses of 100 n/cm2 tensile and 50 n/cm2 compressive at a point. the normal shear stress plane is

Answer 1

The normal shear stress plane in a system under biaxial loading with principal stresses of 100 n/cm² tensile and 50 n/cm² compressive at a point can be determined using the formula:

Normal Shear Stress Plane = (σ1 - σ2) / 2

Plugging in the given values:

Normal Shear Stress Plane = (100 n/cm² - 50 n/cm²) / 2

Simplifying the expression:

Normal Shear Stress Plane = 50 n/cm² / 2

Normal Shear Stress Plane = 25 n/cm²

Therefore, the normal shear stress plane in this biaxial loading system is 25 n/cm².
